The new skill I acquired these past few days is how to participate in a snowball fight and shovel the driveway at the same time. After getting pelted mercilessly for several minutes, it finally dawned on me that I had a shovel full of snow (I can be a little slow sometimes).
With all the wind, we lost a 6 ft. long piece of metal flashing where the back wall of the house meets the flat roof. No sign of leakage so far. I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed while the snow melts.
The word is this is a once in a lifetime snow event for the Philadelphia area. As you can see in the pictures, the boys are making the most of it.

Topic: Family and Friends
While I’ve been sporadically tweeting, I haven’t blogged much for a while. I also haven’t made much progress recently with Shashin updates. The culprit is my new job. I’ve been at it a month now, and I’m enjoying it. But it’s exercising parts of my brain that are out of shape, so I haven’t had the mental energy for blogging when I get home. We’re also hiring for two open positions, which means I’ve been spending a lot of time in interviews, so I’ve been taking some of my other work home.
After the interviews are done, and we’re no longer short-staffed, and after I whip the flabby parts of my brain into shape, I’m hoping to return to my usual blogging.
